Little Church on the Prairie

About 25 miles south of Malta, Montana, on a gravel road leading to a few ranches, stands the Scandia Lutheran Church. Built in 1915 this structure seems to be unused, but is still cared for by people who obviously remember what it meant in such a small and isolated community. Looks right sitting out there on the prairie.

Operating philosophy

The photo behind the title header was made by Clair Kofoed in NE Oregon several years ago - Jesse pointing, Huns flushing, and me thinking about the camera and shooting behind.

This century's quotes

"Over the long haul of life on this planet, it is the ecologists, and not the bookkeepers of business, who are the ultimate accountants."

- Stewart Udall, 1970

"Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end"
